One of the things I like about the saga, and the EU is how the authors use words to describe things that sound familiar to us, but at the same time they take it to a different level, we have transparisteel for example, we inmediately think about something like crystal, but hard as steel (I'm still wondering how Obi-Wan was able to go throug it in ep 2, but thats a different story), also we have duracrete, not sure if i wrote it right, and I think i also read permacrete somewhere.

Now we also have the holonet, I love that term, it have so many uses in the star wars universe.

But then there are thing I fell are out of place, because they lacked any kind of adaptation to this universe. An example is the optical fiber we can find mentioned in the Shadows of Empire novel adaptation, can't remember what chapter, but it was used for something inside the turbolifts <---o that another nice term =P, also there, and in x-wing alliance video game we can finde mentions of "e-mail". I guess the fiber could be avoided with some new term, but I have been thinking about e-mail, not everything can be holos in the star wars universe, there should be also some kind of text messages, but so far I haven't found any equivalent to the "e-mail" term used in the x-wing games.

Also something i forgot to mention is that I like that all this words are simple, and nothing exotic like things mentioned on Star Treck or other shows.
